How to play The Stone by Dave Matthews Band

http://www.anthonyiglesias.com

This is part 3 of a 4 video lesson series I did one VERY early morning, so if I sound tired it's because the coffee hadn't kicked in yet. :-)

Disclaimer: Even though I try to be as accurate as possible by watching Dave closely when I see him live or watch a video, there is still plenty of room for error. Thus this video is merely my interpretation of the original. Enjoy :-)

Hey,

Do you hit all 6 strings when you play that first g minor chord, cause it sounds a little weird when I play it.

Thanks.

@theyuv to quote Bruce Lee "Don't think, feeeeeel". But seriously.... keep experimenting and it will come to you. good luck

It sounds like you put an extra E note at the end of the infro riff. In the chorus Dave doesn't mute the D string, rather he plays the F and E note the whole time. Very good song and nice picking!

post a video of the way you play it :)

@variableobject its in the timing. its not something you think about you have to feel it. just listen to it live and acoustic and then play it yourself, dont think about it just listen to it, youll know when you got down when your suddenly struck with this urge to bobb your head or tap your foot.

@variableobject your ears and feel is what will guide you. Just listen more and think less... you'll get it. Good luck.
